While making a script for adding a date line at midnight each day, I thought something like
alias putdate {
echo -s $date $time
.timerputdata 0:00 1 1 putdata
}
would seem nice. But that gave me 29 date lines, once every 2 seconds until it was 00:01
Is this considered normal behaviour or not? I know my alarm clock doesn't work like this
I know the alternatives: use
.timer 0:00 0 86400 echo -s $!date $!time
but I'm not convinced of the accuracy of this; or use
.timer 1 120 .timerputdata 0:00 1 1 putdata
